Abstract

Photoinduced decomposition of formic acid has been investigated in low-temperature rare gas matrices. The photoproduct ratios were found to differ in Xe matrix from those in Ar and Kr matrices. In xenon, the H 2 + CO 2 dissociation channel was observed to be prominent, whereas in argon and krypton the formation of H 2O + CO was favored. The perturbation upon the photodecomposition mechanism produced by the matrix environment was studied by trapping the precursor in mixed Ar Xe matrices.
